Wok's For Dinner: Ham & Swiss Pizza

A twist on a much-loved favorite--PIZZA!!


I decided to try a new way to make pizza, rather than the boring cheese & pepperoni varieties my family typically eats.  They are good, of course, but *yawn* sometimes it's nice to do something out of the ordinary.  You know?

I had some ham, and I had some shredded Swiss.  Hmm, sounds like the makings of my new favorite pizza!

Ham & Swiss Pizza

Ingredients:
Crust:
2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 pkg (1/4 oz) dry yeast for pizza dough
1 Tbsp + 2 tsp olive oil
1 cup lukewarm water

Sauce:
1 bunch green onion, chopped
1 Tbsp butter, melted
1 Tbsp flour
1 cup evaporated milk
1 Tbsp honey mustard
1/4 cup shredded Swiss cheese

Toppings:
1 cup cubed cooked ham
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese

Directions:
Lightly grease a 12x9-inch baking sheet with olive oil.  In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt together; stir in the yeast.  Make a well in the center of the flour mixture.  Add olive oil and water.  Mix until a soft dough forms, then turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface.  Knead dough gently for 5 minutes.  Roll out dough and press into prepared baking sheet.  Cover with plastic wrap; allow to rest for 10 minutes at room temperature.  Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 F.  After dough has rested, bake in preheated oven for 7-8 minutes.  Remove crust from oven and set aside.

Mix sauce ingredients together in a medium bowl.  Microwave for about 30 seconds.  Pour and spread sauce over crust.  Top with ham and shredded Swiss cheese toppings.  Bake for 12-15 minutes.
